[1918, April, not earlier than 13]

I request that comrade Latvians take all measures for disciplined guard duty.

Lenin

1 The appeal was written on a letter from G. V. Chicherin to V. D. Bonch-Bruevich dated 13 April 1918 with a request to dispatch 9 reliable Latvian riflemen for guard duty of the premises allotted to the German embassy.
